I just got a kitten and his name is Tommy - he has been very well behaved and has even…
Even when a kitten does not seem to protest, it is up to the adults to help children learn proper handling and respect for their feline companions. The children should be taught the proper way to give attention (when all 4 feet are on the ground) and how to hold and carry a cat (supporting the body). If the kitten is too big for them to pick up, then they should not do so. It also is important that the kitten have quiet, alone, resting time daily without disturbances from the children. This can be a cat bed or climbing tower where the cat is “untouchable” while he is resting. This way the kitten will hopefully not need to use strong responses to change unwanted attention. As for jumping, most kittens learn how to jump on things as they get bigger and more sure footed.
